Sorry if I came across as apopleptic - I'm mostly not at all confident that most gentiles or secular Jews would readily identify it as satire - when I clicked on the link, I expected to see something real.

I'm hoping that it is something more warmer than satire, that the author is willingly embracing self aware absurdity. The whole thing, from the choice of domain name jewjewjew.com, with the ridiculous triple repetition, to me suggests a person with a wonderful and kind sense of humour. If that's not what this is, then it's something so strange I don't think I'm going to get my head around it.

The hacker community has a tradition of pet projects that take an arbitrary requirement to the logical extreme just to see what's possible.

I don't really see this as any different from the people trying to browse the web from a Commodore 64, or implement a web server entirely in Bash.

Yeah fair enough, I just figured especially with the url it's some Borat subtle type with technical know how, not some work will set you free nut.

If there are kosher phone numbers, kosher internet, and plans to build kosher power plants, why not kosher search engine.

Whatever makes more money to issuers of kashrut compliance papers and kashrut inspectors.
